@ROGUE406 3 года назад

Spot on. It took me 5 years to finish my PhD while in full-time employment- and my job requires constant travel - besides being a husband and father. In my experience: 1. The most important thing is setting up the right habits and routine. 2. Pioritize your physical and mental health (gym, yoga etc) and sleep. Some of my best ideas came to me in my dreams - weird as it sounds. 3. Take some time off. There were times I couldn't put a sentence together, no matter how much I tried...then times when the right words would literally flow from my fingers! So I took time off when I was brain-dead, and worked hard when I was in a purple patch. 4. Talk to other experts and colleagues about your PhD work and approach - it helps to identify your blind spots, generate alternative approaches and also to test whether your topic is clear enough.

@angelazhang3393 2 года назад

@@BlondeQtie That's not really true. I am a full time PhD, but I can tell you there are many Master students who already knew a lot more about my field than I did when I first started. I spent my first couple of years mostly catching up. (I did come from industry, left, and chose to pursue a PhD.) I would say many other PhD students are the same, as they could've chosen to pursue a different discipline than their background or the discipline is new in general. (I'm in CS working with ML, AI so many things are generally new here.) Plus, there are people whose PhD is highly related to their work so they technically already started "researching" even before they started. Honestly - more time in a PhD is nothing to brag about. I came to learn something specific so I can make things better in the real world. Spending more time here does not equal "better" quality, though time is a necessity for learning. If others can achieve their own goals in a shorter time - kudos. Everyone's experience is different.

You present very intriguing tips. I need a lot of motivation since PhD is hard. That is why some successfully do it. I have experienced killing my time through unnecessary jargon tasks such as lots of time on face book and other social medias. After much time elapsed, I wake up and start to insult me, see me as a man that can do nothing. I have struggling to start my proposal but could not concentrate or easily distracted. I could not develop a discipline. I have planned to wake up from bed at 5:00 Am. I made it for a few days but come back to the previous habit. I need this motivation to develop into strict habits. Thank you very much for your important tips.

@abhishek001ghosh 3 года назад

The most important reason , according to me, is the course work requirements during a phd .There are certain US universities and even IIT Kanpur and IISC Bangalore in India , where course work is very rigorous, as one has to credit (not audit) a number of abvanced courses in their first year .After obtaining a decent cgpa , u are allowed to take your comprehensive exams and then comes your research.l believe that under these circumstances completing in 3years is a tough job altogether. That is the reason the average time is 5 years in these places.

@nirbhay_raghav 3 года назад

Yes you are right. I am at IISc currently at end of my first year and this is so true. Coursework is very rigorous and everyone is expected to have a 7 or even 7.5+ CGPA depending on supervisor. And then comes a project that you have to do before a comprehensive which in itself feels like the end of a PhD by the time you are done. Most people hence relax after their compre thinking they have worked so hard. And thats why PhD finishes in 6 years or 7 sometimes.

@user-qy8zi8hq4v 3 года назад

Isn't it same for all IIT? I just finished my first 6 months of PhD from home. Feeling highly demotivated. Not able to focus while studying from home

@ratnanirupama 2 года назад

Yes yes, I have experienced the same at IITH. It's the same in all IITs. The first year was very rigorous

@timothyrday1390 Год назад

It's similar in humanities PhD programs in the US. You spend at least a year doing coursework, doctoral readings credits, and preparing for the comprehensive exams. You then need to work on your proposal and to get that accepted by your committee (5 professors). Even getting the committee put together can be an ordeal because you need two outside readers. After you've done all that, it can take another 4-5 years to write a dissertation that is worthy of a defense. Finishing in PhD in 3 years is almost unheard of in the humanities.

It really depends on the culture in your lab culture. Are the days spent chatting/gossiping or is that left for lunch or after work? My advice is to be friendly with everyone (don’t stand out if you are the only serious one in the group), and leave gossiping for lunch/social occasions. You are likely being paid peanuts or nothing at all and doing anything besides your research during the week is not smart.
